All, What do you use for cleaning the interior (dash etc) or your alfa ? Soapy water, or some specific product ?

Hi group, This is a problem my Alfa 156 2.4 JTD (2002) has had for a long time. Sometimes it is very hard to press the pedal all the way to the floor, and sometimes it goes very smooth. Like I said, it has been this way a long time, and it's doesn't seem to harm the car. But it's annoying...

I've tried at 5 different fuel stations, but everytime the same thing happens. Nozzle goes in, fuel...

All, I am fairly new to the Alfa world - bought my first used 156 1.8 petrol (t reg - 1999) about 3 weeks ago. A strange thing I have noticed however, is the uneven acceleration I get in 2nd. If I move off, up into 2nd and then floor it (or even just get a little enthusiastic with the throttle),...

Hello folks, Thought I'd ask the audience for some advice before I leap in with my screwdriver ! Both front windows on our Alfa 164 (2.0TS) intermittently stop working. The nearside blows the 30A fuse occasionally, and the offside window wont move (or gets stuck). You can here a small relay...

I'm just wondering how easy it is to remove the spark plugs on a 156 V6? I gather you have to remove part of the engine to gain access but it's not obvious which part from looking at it. Has anyone done this? It has been a simple job on my other cars, but the Alfa is in a different league!

Dear Reader, The subject says most of it. About 18 months ago I bought a 164 Super and have been running it with no problems at all, until last week when the gearbox gave way and all it's fluid ended up on the road via the bell housing! I have been quoted £400 to fix it (mostly labour to get the...

Hi All, I've just had my 156 Sportswagon 36K service carried out and it appears that Alfa are really trying to improve their aftercare at last.

Help!! Since I changed the battery of my GTV V6 TB the ABS doesn't work anymore. Also the ABS light stay's on. The Alfa engine analyzer can't detect the ABS system. Anybody any suggestions?
